Las actividades de comunicación/capacitación del personal docente son fundamentales para el desarrollo profesional y las actividades de servicio para la mejora de la instrucción en cada escuela.
The LMS Sandbox is a useful tool for providing faculty information and support
In some states, consumer protection agencies as opposed to the state’s Department of Education regualte.
a robust training program is vital for faculty to be successful.
Ongoing assessment and provision of feedback is critical. Any areas of opportunity must be addressed, and tools or resources should be provided to improve outcomes.
I was surprised about consumer protection agencies overseeing proprietary schools. I get the protection from predatorial schools and that this exists, but this is education, standards, evidence-based methodology, evaluation, etc. matter!
The LMS used for online instruction can be optimized to be a comprehensive resource and communication tool for faculty. The materials in the sandbox can be updated consistently to keep the latest versions freshly available rather than emailing new versions of documents and material.
How do you confirm faculty appropriateness for online courses? For example, is there a limit for how long ago a faculty worked in Community Health for a CH course, or was in leadership who is teaching a leadership course.
I should use the LMS as my communications platform with faculty.
A robust orientation for faculty member is key to a successful start along with ongoing professional development.
There are so many different LMS out there. Wherever one decides to become an instructor, one should grasp theat LMS and become one with it in order to facilitate what your students will be expected to do better.
Important for management to offer professional development activities and in-services to continue to develop faculty growth
Although we provide many opportunities for faculty growth and training, we don't define the difference between "in-service" and "professional development". I feel we should do this from this point forward.
I have learnt the importance of hiring and assigning adjunct faculty who are experts in the course they'll be teaching
Hiring faculty who meet the legislative criteria for the state
PD and inservices are important factors for faculty development and retention
Specific industry knowledge, along with participating in professional developemnt is an imporant aspect of choosing and maintaining the appropriate faculty.
Professional development is key to maintaining high quality instruction and performance for faculty.
It is continually important to develop staff, especially those that you are managing from a distance, in regards to professional development, teaching pedagogies and technology. When a new instructor on-boards, it is important to have a faculty trainer to show them the ropes of the LMS and it may be beneficial to support the new instructor with a classroom assistant. This is a two-fold benefit as the assistant can also track the instructor's progress and show them where to continue in their devleopment further. Continuing education in our industry as a whole is a requirement of many licenses, and not only that but it is essential to continue being an effective educator and leader in the classroom. With technologies rapidly developing and changing, creating in-services or assigning online courses to support instructors will increase retention as well as effectiveness in the online courses.
Profesional developent and individual development are very important to mantain high level standards of teching in the online environment. The best combination to have is professional experience and teaching experaince. This will be very enhanced if the needed credentials are there as well.
It is neccessary to have a set onboarding process for new instructors just as it is to continue to develop exisiting instructors.
